[May 23] Omni Based ROM

[AAccount]

Summarized Standard Disclaimer: use at your own risk.

This is a continuation of omni rom from @mcgi5sr2 To make this ROM, I've fetched sources from all across xda from nameless rom for the device specific stuff, to omnirom for the base rom, cyanogenmod for enhancements, and boeffla kernel for kernel enhancements. Very few of the additions are actually mine.

**Notice** This is not official omni for several reasons. It has quite a few cyanogenmod enhancements. The omni team is not fond of cyanogenmod and whether you are or note, you have to admit their additional features are useful. SELinux is disabled (permissive). It has caused me nothing but annoyances since I first installed fedora core 7. It's been more trouble to me than it's worth. If you want it, I will NOT be accepting pull requests for it. Please compile it on your own. On my desktop and laptop, it is fully disabled at the kernel level. (I compile the kernel manually for both to boot without an initial ram disk.)

Cyanogenmod enhancements include:

• CM12 File Manager
• CM11 Calculator (uglier but much more functional)
• CM12 bash shell
• CM12 nano text editor
• CM12 discontinued Koush su
• CM11 forward ported custom host name
• CM12 music volume long press music control
• CM12 ad hoc wifi detection
• CM12 camera power shutter
• CM12 open ssh utilities
• CM12 trebuchet
• CM12 custom app notification light colors
• CM12 battery light on/off and custom colors

Boeffla kernel enhancements include:

• Back/menu key backlight working and DON'T light up on every screen touch
• 1.7GHz cpu oc
• Undervolting
• GPU 5 step
• GPU sysfs support
• GPU overclocking (by sysfs)

My own personal touches aren't that long:

• Jellybean style toasts
• Disabled selinux
• (Other additions more applicable to P7510 (galaxy tab 10.1 1st gen rom)

Not working / never tested:

• Plugging in the charger while off probably causes something weird
• Not sure how SuperSU will react since Koush su is built into ramdisk init scripts

First time flashing MY omni 5.1.1

• Make titantium backup (highly recommended)
• Get twrp
• Flash twrp (if not already done)
• Reboot into twrp (if flashing twrp)
• Make recovery backup (I usually don't)
• Full wipe
• Format system
• Install rom
• Install gapps
• reboot
• install adblocker (very highly recommended)

Subsequent flashes

• Install ROM
• install gapps
• reboot into rom
• reapply adblock

The gapps backup recovery isn't run as it caused problems on my other rom at some point so I've never reenabled it since then.

FAQ:

• Notification LED stays lit after notification has been seen: open quick settings and close it again.
• How to get FM working: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=spirit&fdid=fm.a2d.sf
• I hate youtube app ads: get xposed and xposed youtube ad blocker.

Nice. Since you've included some of boeffla kernel enhancements, do you have plans to add boeffla sound?
Great work btw. ??

I think the stock nameless kernel already came with it.

I think the stock nameless kernel already came with it.

Ah, cool. I'll try it out as soon as I get some free time. ?

 

[OxygeenHD]

Will try ASAP, Boeffla sound would be a hell of a good thing, as personally, the only thing which makes me kinda off CM12.1 is the lack of CM12.1 NG Boeffla's kernel ^^

(Greetings to lord boeffla and you anyway )

Um...just fyi, there is cm 12.1 ng boeffla kernel. Here: http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boeffla-kernel-cm-ng/cm12.1_download/Test/

Supplied kernel comes with boeffla sound.

Want to give it a try but have to ask first, no theme manager?

Cool stuffs.
Looks to me that you've made the right choices in building.

• nameless kernel ensures compatibility with existing custom kernels. As well as being the most functional stock kernel (but that;s just a guess)
• DSP Manager FTW (no audioFX bs)
• All hail apollo. so much simpler that that new CM thing
• CM file manager. That's a solid file manager.

And so on.
I always loved omni more than CM, stability/speed wise (feature wise, CM wins). But i changed from Omni to CM with Archidroid. This makes me wonder how omni is performing now.

Just out of curiosity, when we flash a custom kernel like AK or Boeffla, we would be able to toggle Selinux right? Or did you exlude all selinux rules from your rom?

Flashing any custom kernel that changes the ram disk will break root. The root startup daemon is started by an init script. I don't remember touching any of the policy files but they haven't been updated since I forked the nameless repo. I would have to say it's "try at your own risk".

Also, 1 thing I forgot to put on the first post is that the CM12 custom notification light colors per app has also been ported.

----------------------------------------------Added--------------------------------------------------------
And yes no theme manager. I didn't try to port it. I first saw the theme manager in CM7.2 but never really used it.

Boot loop for me

 

[HammDefy]

Got also BootLoop when optimizing Apps...

 

[OxygeenHD]

Does this rom support 240 DPI resolution ?

(even changing this value in build.prop won't cause weird issues ? )

 

[DaksAnkit]

just booted it thanks . for the rom !! will see how it reacts

How? I mean did you flashed custom kernel?

 

[acornkenya]

Yep; same thing happened to me.

 

[DaksAnkit]

Here is what i did !

How? I mean did you flashed custom kernel?

I M ASSUMING YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED ! RIGHT ....
so .
i flashed stock rom of s3 through ODIN ,
then i flashed TWRP recovery ".tar " file also through ODIN .
then installed the .zip files of this rom on my sd card ,
entered into TWRP recovery mode ,
deleted DATA - DALVIC - CACHE
installed from sd storage ..
flashed it . then LP .GApps . ..
Rebooted .
and thats it i didn`t encountered any failures .
If you did ? well i will recommend flashing Stock rom n then trying this one with twrp:good::good:
